@Mandy-Because this is a huge passion. Huge. Sticking, and staying close to the original text as possible.

I think God would say as far as the test grade that Drew at least made the effort to remember….as little as effort as it was:)

Remember we are the ones with expectations…

The scriptures ARE not negotiable.
But as far as quoting and memorization… what is the standard?

KJV
NKJV
NIV
Message
New Living
Young’s Literal
Haitian Creole Version
etc?

Or, is it enough (more important?) to memorize the intent of the passage however it’s worded?

Sometimes you CRAM to remember your memory verse for the day (verses actually), and then you can’t remember a single word after that little test. Sometimes it bothers me that I’m tested, because I think of it as a test: you cram, and than it doesn’t matter what’s after the test. IT’s like I forget it’s scripture.
About two of our teachers don’t even look at the scripture- you get full credit for filling in the blanks. Sometimes this leads to apathy for the rest of the classes. Maybe the profs recognize some students think this sort of testing is ridiculous.

…But IS it ridiculous? Shouldn’t we know the scripture? Shouldn’t it be easy?

Thanks for writing this.
